Abstract

Purpose: To determine the Co- relation between HBA1C levels and prevalence of retinopathy among patients attending our hospital. Methods: This is a prospective observational study of patients attending the outpatient department and those referred to department of Ophthalmology. Patients were recruited on the basis of history, clinical examination and blood investigations. Along with detailed demographic history, all subjects underwent complete slit lamp anterior segment, posterior segment examination. Estimation of RBS at admission and FBS and PPBS second day of admission along with Urine sugar, Albumin and Microscopy. If necessary based on the indication Fundus Fluorescein Angiography was also performed. Results: Out of 250 patients evaluated, 151 were males (60.3%) and 99 (39.7%) were females. Diabetic retinopathy was the most common complication (36.8%). The strongest predictor for the prevalence of retinopathy in persons with type 2 diabetes is the duration of diabetes and was proven statistically significant. Both prevalence and severity of retinopathy correlates with HBA1C level in our study group. Conclusion: Diabetic retinopathy was the commonest ocular complication of diabetes. The prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy was higher in patients with longer duration of diabetes. Keywords: Ocular complications, Diabetes, Diabetic retinopathy, Cataract.
